Doom Island

"Let's go on a family drive!"

"YES, lets..."

We agreed that while all the family were down that it would be nice to go on a family drive. So somehow it was decided that we would go to Brunie Island to spend the day and for Pud to have a go at surfing! La de daaaaaa, how fun crossing over on the ferry...



How fun looking at the nice sights...


How fun posing for the camera...








But then... driving, driving, driving to find some waves...
We get to Cloudy Bay to find...
Nick was hopeful and thought the storm would pass...
But WRONG! It hit and Minol went surfing anyway. Poor Pud got her wetsuit on, took the board out but didn't get to the water! I stayed in the car the whole time (I got a baby to look after!) Everyone else went to find somewhere to eat lunch but ended up back in the cars soon after when the rain started!
It was about this time when Anker renamed Brunie Island to Doom Island as we sat in the car waiting for the rain to ease and Minol to return from his crazy surf. We were joking about being stuck on the island like in the horror movies!
But alas, the storm cleared up a bit and we carried on, looking for somewhere to have our picnic lunch. We found a nice camping ground which led to a nice beach where the kids could explore. And pretty much that was our day. Happy Australia Day.

Loved the pics Essie. Did you edit them in photoshop?
At least it was an Australia Day that none of you'll forget!
